#CornSyrup January 3

In January 2026, many of us will take part in the 30-Day Label Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we will share a label from a food product and share info about one of the ingredients. The goal is simple—read food labels, research unfamiliar ingredients, and become more intentional about what you’re putting into your body, building awareness that can lead to healthier, more mindful eating. Today my post is info on CORN SYRUP specifically High Fructose.
Started to notice certain brands of foods advertising themselves as “no high fructose corn syrup“. Unlike glucose, which can be readily used by every cell in your body, fructose must be processed by your liver before it can be utilized for energy. Consuming it spurs a reaction that encourages your liver to create more fat.
Label-30 Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to sharing an ingredient from a food label during the month of January.
- Locate a label on a food product and research an ingredient you might not be familiar with.
- Share with a challenge partner if you have one what that ingredient is.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
January 3rd-Corn Syrup (High Fructose)
Looking in our pantry noticed a number of items that contained Corn Syrup (HFCS). My item that I’m highlighting is “Jellied Cranberry Sauce”
Hard to read but second most used ingredient is HFCS. There are organic brands of cranberry sauce that use cane sugar versus HFCS.
